Seventh Girl needs an "A" name! HELP!

We have a problem. I am due in 2 weeks with Baby #9. I have two sons (Nick and Paul) and six daughters. With the girls I started a tradition - all their names begin with "A" and they all have the middle name "Maria" (yes, we are Catholic:0))

The girls are Ariana, Ave, Anastasia, Alessandra, Amelia and Abigail.

I would really like to name this new girl something with any letter BUT an "A" (I'm really tired of A names...), but the girls will not let me! They say she will feel left out. The problem is there aren't any "A" names left that I really love. We can't use Ashley, Amber, or Amanda which are names of cousins or Andrea (my name), so don't suggest those.

Here is a list of possibilities. I'm not crazy about any of them, but I have to choose one. My question is which is your favorite and are there any that you think are absolutely terrible? Thanks for your help!

Adara Maria
Adelaide Maria
Adelaine Maria
Adeline Maria
Adelyn Maria
Adrienne Maria
Alivia Maria
Amara Maria
Ansley Maria
Alanna Maria
Aliza Maria
Angela Maria
Anthea Maria
Arabella Maria
Audrey Maria

Andrea

Mom to Nicholas, Ariana, Paul, Ave, Anastasia, Alessandra, Amelia, Abigail and Angelina

Adrienne Maria is my favourite out of the list. There's a couple of a names that I love that weren't on the list.. might I suggest:

Ainsley Maria
Ariel Maria
Angelica Maria
Angelique Maria

Good luck!

Hi-

Congrats on your big family, that's wonderful!

I saw you had Audrey on your list, and figured I would mention the name Audra. I don't know what it means, but knew someone with that name and thought you might like it- and it fits your pattern!

How about Annalisa Maria, Avery Maria, or Allysa Maria. Please let me know what you decide. I am considering Mary Margaret if I have a girl. Take care. I sure hope I am not too late. Big hugs and lots and lots of love. Bye
